You could maximise the advertising potential on the top of the lollipop ! Instead of " STOP " , you could have your website ad , and your logo in illuminous pink !

squeky...work does come to some people .... but they have done leaflets advertising in all forms , months even years in advance....iv been doing it 16 years and yet i see new wc dsoind work i have canvassed for years...SO WHAT!... i just get out there and knock , leaflet, and do whatever i can to better my life...we all get down...but we have to make a choice?

work for peanuts...£70- £80 a day like you said in your original post or take controll of your life.
taking controll means hard work, or working smart....the harder you work the easier it will be.

Good post 

[pingu]

Squeeks.....I have never canvassed my round it is being built by leaflets and word of mouth alone...but imagine if you with a little cheeky type banter were to leaflet and then canvass...I bet you would suprise yourself at what can be achieved inbetween now and crimbo...

Or you could just do sweet bugger all, moan, winge and fall into a hole of your own self pity.

I wonder what you'll do?

Good luck
Dave.

I agree very much with the sentiments of the last few posts.

You got to go out there and do it.

 All business is tough especially at the moment but you can't ever give up. Remember all the old cliches

When the going gets tough the tough get going.

Winners never quit, quitters never win

You can't do business sitting on your ar5e.

The work doesnt just fall on anyones lap, this is business , you have to go out and compete.

Ian has been at it a long time and will pick up twice as much as you if he tried just through drawing on his experience.

Sit down and work out much more money you want then go out and get it.

In a morning , I climb onto a chair amd sing zipeedee doodaa  , I find this gives me the right start for the day ! 

[supernova77]

Squeaky,

You've been given some great advice!

What are you going to do? Are you going to follow some of it?

The first thing that struck me with this post is that you can make 80 odd quid by 12 noon.  I know window cleaners that make that in a day!  Your business has potential, make no mistake about that. 

Everything you need to know is in this thread, its just a matter of if you want it or not.

Update:


I remembered a new one I was asked to call on today.
I priced it well, and while I was there got the house next door too.
That one had two stunning teenage daughters in it too.

While I was doing that a lady walked past and asked me to price her's up, just up the road.
Got a decent price on that, but she wanted 8 weekly.

Oh well, only yesterday I said I didn't get anything, then 3 in one go!
That's me £37 better off.
But the best thing about it...










Those daughters.

[Joe Lauzon]

Those daughters.

 


   I hear ya.  Keeps things interesting doesn't it!  I have a few tales from my younger days... 

[Bobs Window Cleaning]

So roger.

Do you do any other work ie gutters or pressure washing?

[liahona]

Squeaky, I might have an idea for you, give me a ring and its ok we wont talk football, well ok maybe we will.

Best, Dave.

Squeeks , I thought you were depressed , but after reading your last post , you are not 

[Sir Squeaky]

Squeeks , I thought you were depressed , but after reading your last post , you are not 

Not in general, just work gets me down when I'm short of it, or not making the money I want to.

Bod, yes I clean the outsides of gutters and facia boards.
In fact, anything I can reach I'll clean.
I even did someone's car a while back.
